Stony Brook KOs UMass

Wednesday, March 20, 2013

AMHERST — If Kentucky’s loss to Robert Morris Tuesday resounded around college basketball with a lesson about teams’ willingness and motivation to play certain postseason games, UMass used Wednesday night’s game to further drive home that message. The Minutemen, seeded second in their National Invitation Tournament bracket, played dispirited basketball throughout and No. 7 seed Stony Brook, already the winningest road team in Division I hoops this season, took full advantage. Stony Brook hit UMass with a 17-0 run to close out the first half and stayed in control to the end for a 71-58 first-round NIT victory before 2,173 at the Mullins Center. The … 0

UMass squanders lead in 29-19 loss

Sunday, November 18, 2012

FOXBOROUGH — The noncompetitive 63-0 losses are one thing, but the double-digit second-half leads that quickly turn into double-digit defeats are more discouraging still.
